It wears heavy on me. My dad has had four people close to him die in the last decade. His childhood best friend died in the last few months. His good/best friend died some years ago. Another one of his very good friends died after that person. His brother also died in the last few years. And now, just yesterday, my parents' dog died. I've never seen my dad so sad. He tries to still joke around like his usual self, but I can't imagine the kind of loss he is going through. I hate to see my dad in pain. My father is one of the greatest Christian men I know. He is completely selfless. He only ever thinks of others. He does almost all the work around the house. He gets my mom what she wants. He takes her on vacations as well as taking me and my brother out on vacations. This all comes out of the money that he manages. He is VERY generous with his finances, giving generously to missionaries and to his church. He is also a man of great integrity. He is the sort of person who will pay his bills before he buys food. Not exaggerating. He is an evangelist and has brought many of his friends to the Lord. He has been faithful to his wife, his family, and the Lord for all his life. Please pray that God comforts him with His Spirit. Thank you.

Praise God for this brother. We pray that God has mercy on Him and gives him joy in weathering all these deaths. That His hope remains fixated on Christ and that he himself has no fear of dying and enjoys his remaining years in good health and sound mind. I pray the Holy Spirit comforts him and gives him vision for his later years. That he would continue being effective for Christ and have more opportunities to share the gospel and the love of God in his life. In Jesus name.

Just moving this from Deeper Fellowship to the Prayer Wall so more people can see this and lift your father up in prayer.

Dear Lord,
I prayer for Your comfort for Your son in the faith, whose countenance has fallen. Please be with him and walk alongside him to encourage his heart.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen

Wow. What a great father you have. I pray for the healing of his heart. And for those who are grieving for his friends.
